Thank you!
Friends,
Over the last six months, we've started a conversation that I hope continues. Mostly because on a personal level, the conversations I've had with people all over this country have been so rewarding.
Thank you for giving our campaign its bounce. I am humbled and honoured, and have made so many new friends. Your energy, ideas and openness are why I believe politics matters and should matter more.
I congratulate Thomas Mulcair on his victory today, and the other candidates with whom I was colleagues. I look forward to working with Tom and them all in getting a New Democratic government that reflects the values of Canada's progressive majority.
I also congratulate and deeply thank our amazing team of volunteers and staff, right across this beautiful country. Your work inspired me and I am very grateful. Thank you. The support from caucus colleagues over the campaign and today, along with Alexa McDonough's on the last ballot on which I could run, means a great deal.
Diana and I are very proud of the campaign you let us run.
